Les Grandes Eaux Nocturnes I : le bassin du Nord


Every Saturday during the summer months, at dusk, begin the magical "Night Waters" (Eaux Nocturnes) at the palace, a small imitation of what the royal feasts were. All the fountains are working to the sound of baroque music. This is the beginning of Les Eaux Nocturnes week!
-----------------------
Tous les samedis d'été se tiennent au château les magiques "Eaux Nocturnes" à partir du tomber du jour, durant lesquelles toutes les fontaines se mettent à jaillir au son de la musique baroque, pâle imitation des fêtes royales d'antan. Voici donc le début de la semaine des Eaux Nocturnes que je vous souhaite belle !

  8. Excellent photos and a great theme showing these fountains. Can you bring a chair or blanket and get on the grass to watch or must you stand?
